Don't Stop Believing

That's my longtime friend Jesse on the right. Similar to how I turned a childhood playtime activity into a fully legit job, Jesse makes cartoons for a living. He's been drawing and doing animation since the womb and started one of Tampa's only legit studios. I don't like that Jap stuff, but Jesse loves it. Asian women, too. On the side, he plays in a band called Roppongi's Ace |
There was some t-shirt show at Czar the other night. Ronald McDonald had my soul for a while but I think I've finally broken free. That's Schaefer with Beth and Curse from Dean Guitars. Dean hooked it up two guitars for Minneapolis Damn Am. Thanks, Curse! |
Every time Schaefer has those shoes on, I know he has intended to look somewhat dressed up for the night. He's been using them to spice up the black jeans and white t-shirt since the 90's. Somehow, he made it through the whole night with that umbrella, too. Keep it classy |
I squeezed Matt Welch's beard and these things fell on the floor: broken drumstick, cut off Dickies, a crusty Vans Spicoli slip-on, and The Senator's phone number |
Meanwhile, down the street, the scene as Reservoir hasn't changed. Furlong was there playing pool with reverse mullet lazy mohawk guy |
That's no lazy mohawk there. It's another fine sample of the standard Reservoir Bar clientelle |
Details are pretty fuzzy, but somehow Roberto Aleman was in Tampa the other night. I discovered this by waking up in the morning and going through my camera. Schaefer somehow still has that umbrella |
The correct formula for proper party photos includes putting yourself in them, adding some girls, and holding up your beer to prove you are in fact partying |
Now we're back to the bands. I can't really make fun of this guy because of my hippie hair, but at least I got shoes on and a clean upper lip. Thanks for the entertainment. I know this guy has to have a cruiser board. See you on the Booze Cruise on Friday, hippie |
